Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert are mourning the loss of one of their four-legged children. Their puppy Steve was killed in an accident over the weekend, and the two are obviously devastated.

Miranda took to her Twitter page to share her loss and asked her followers to “please send prayers to our family. We lost our puppy Steve yesterday (Saturday) in an accident. He is happy in heaven now.” She even tweeted a cute photo of her and Steve, and said, “R.I.P. my sweet angel!” The songbird was very sad by the dog’s passing, as was her fiancé, Blake, who actually rescued Steve. He was only able to write, “Worst day for me in a longtime. Rest in peace Steve …” Many of their famous friends, including Martina McBride and Michelle Branch, have reached out via Twitter as well to give their condolences.

Earlier this year, Miranda told The Boot about Steve, as well as her most recent canine addition, Cher. “I have six dogs now, and they’re all rescues,” she explained. “And Cher was the last one, and then right before her, we got Steve, which is Blake’s dog that he found on his land, and I don’t know why his name is Steve … [probably] because Blake named him, that’s why.”
